Conversation
Private GitLab projects need a `hostType: "go"` host rule with a username and password so Renovate can authenticate the go-get request it uses to resolve a module's source repository. Without it GitLab returns a truncated go-import path for the unauthenticated request and the version lookup 404s. Came up in discussion renovatebot#37624 after the resolution change in renovatebot#36963.

Used to verify what I wrote was accurate since it's been a while since I looked at this area - e.g. quick tests of the ?go-get behaviour. I did carefully review the output and have cut down a lot of what was written to what I considered useful to a user.
